Floyd's most impressive win other than Pac or Corrales?

Hatton
Both in their prime, undefeated, both on everyones p4p list and both lineal champions, multiple division titlists
America vs Uk...also Hatton pushed him and made Floyd work and adjust...actually brought the best out of him and was his best performance IMO since his days at 130
This was his most complete performance.....illustrated his underrated physical strength, poise under pressure, and ability to close the show
IMO this was the last sighting of a prime Floyd Mayweather.....30 years old and his defense and offense was seamless
great fight and performance

Hatton can be a drunk, ******* addict all he wants least the dude doesn't wear pink crocs and a miniskirt.
If what you saw from Cotto against Floyd was him going into survival mode, and failed to see the quality of the fight, where Floyd himself admitted to being in one of his toughest fights in years.... then you're not very objective and we have little to discuss. I'll take Cotto's showing against both Floyd AND Pac versus Hatton's against those same opponents any day of the week. It's not even close.
BTW, miniskirt? Like they say in forums..... pic or it didn't happen.

i really don't think pacquiao was an impressive win. dude has been done for a while now. it's a name and a huge paycheck, but the man was all done.
prime pacquiao was literally 5 years ago or more.
floyd's most impressive win without a doubt was corrales. he beat the hell out of a top 5 p4p fighter.
floyd mayweather's longevity is the strength of his resume. few fighters can say they were at the top of their divisions for 15 years, nevermind in p4p contention. his best wins don't stack up with the upper echelon of all time greats. they just don't.

I always thought Castillo 2 was his best win before Pac, not Corrales. He came back from a controversial fight many think he lost, made the proper adjustments, and clearly beat one of the best lightweights of the 2000s. It was very impressive.

a 38 year old mayweather wasn't the best Mayweather
I agree it wasn't his best win.....I got corrales, hatton, canelo ahead of that Pacquaio win
I never saw how Manny was gonna win anyway, even 5 years ago....going life and death with JMM, who Mayweather whitewashed and also being susceptible to everything Floyd does well....counterpunching, lateral movement, counter straight rights, lead straight rights.....
Manny was never versatile enough to beat him in the first place....the only people that fed into Manny being a threat was the his die hard fans, the media and fans who wanted to see Floyd finally lose....
Over the years, look at all the interviews of pro fighter, trainers, and former fighters who know more about the sport than the casual fans and even the "expert" media, 80% of the people who know the sport were picking Floyd to win since 2008-2009
